Fruit 2

Fruit 2

How much fruit have I born, Lord?

            How many seeds have you sown?

            Your fruit is hidden with Christ in God,

            And your glory is not in this world.

How many souls have I saved, Lord?

            How many friends have you loved?

            You must put yourself last so that others might live,

            For your glory is not in this world.

           

How many ears have heard me, Lord?

            How much truth have you spoken?

            My word is living and active, my child,

            And your glory is not in this world.

How many eyes can see me, Lord?

            How many do your eyes see?

            Reach out your hand to the one who is lost,

            For your glory is not in this world.

How much light did I shine, Lord?

            How much dark did you enter?

            Take up your cross and step into the night,

            For your glory is not in this world.

How many crowns have I earned for you, Lord?

            How many crowns do I need?

            A kingdom built here will just crumble with time,

            And your glory is not in this world.

How great among men will I be, Lord?

            How much can you pay for your soul?

            Do not measure your worth by the praises of men,

            For your glory is not in this world.
